Nero

Nero is the main character of the fourth instalment of the Devil May Cry franchise. Little about him is known, but apparently, he is raised in the city of Fortuna.Nero is a sardonic character and doesn't like to be messed around. His weapons include a revolver named Blue Rose, and a sword named Red Queen. Nero does "Special jobs" for the order cleaning up "messy situtations". Because of Nero's nature, the Order prefers to send him out to do the jobs alone as Nero prefers to be a lone wolf. This religious group called the Kyoudan Kishi, or "Order of Knights.", is a religious order which protects the secrets and powers of demons from the world. In Fortuna, the people here belived that Sparda was actually a fuedal lord in Fortuna, hence the worship.

The reason why Nero wants to kill Dante is because his entire unit was slaughtered by Dante. When Dante also kills the priest in the church of the Order, Nero really shows Dante what he's capable of.

Appearance
Nero has a long coat like Dante but it's colour differs from Dante's, and he has long white hair. It has also been confirmed that Nero is NOT a son of Sparda and that Nero's resemblance will not be featured in the storyline.

Gameplay
As stated above, Nero has the ability to use Devil Bringer, an unique move for him. Unfortunately, he does not gain new weapons and new attacks upgrades are limited for Devil Bringer only. Interestingly, Nero's taunts in a similar sarcastic fashion to Dante. He drags his left thumb across his neck in a throat-slitting motion, then sticks out his arm for a thumbs down, yelling "Scum! Ha-ha!".
